Seemingly of the same build as nos 3-6 Cheap Street (qv) but to a significantly different design. May be the work of Major Charles Davis as the adjoining Nos 9 and 10 (qv). There may be survival of earlier fabric within these buildings. It is situated in an important and long-established main shopping street, which takes its name from the old English for Market, and which was widened and re-fronted under Baldwin's direction in c. 1790.
